How do I uninstall Brave Muon?

To completely uninstall the Brave Muon (old) from your machine you'll need to ensure that you've removed not only the application itself, but also any associated profile data stored. Make sure you've already backed up any data from Muon before doing this as the following instructions completely erase anything saved.

Windows

Browsing data locations:

C:Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\brave

C:Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\brave

To Uninstall: Use the built in Add/Remove Programs Windows feature to uninstall Brave Muon as you would any other program. In addition, to ensure all files have been removed from your machine, navigate to the directories listed above and delete all brave directories.

macOS

Browsing data locations:

Users/[your user name]/"Application Support"/brave

Macintosh HD/Applications/Brave.app

To Uninstall: Find Brave.app in the Applications folder on your machine and select Move to trash. Note that this will not remove any associated browsing data for Muon. To remove browsing and profile data, locate and trash the Brave profile data folder in Application Support. Note that if you elected to keep the Muon icon in the dock, it may remain even after uninstall. Simply right-click and select Options → Remove from dock from the context menu.

Linux

Run the command associated with your Linux distribution:

Note: If you installed Brave on Linux via Snap (or other community maintained software packages), running the commands below may remove the wrong version of Brave. Instead, manually locate and remove these files. For example, Brave installs from snap packages are stored in /Home/[UserName]/snap/brave
